Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hanger, and more particularly, to a unitary integrally-molded plastic hanger intended for multiple usage.
  • the present invention relates to a unitary integrally-molded plastic hanger, and more particularly, to a molded plastic hanger having a rather flattened trapezoid shape, characterized by various internal appendixes, which allow for all possible uses.
  • the hanger can be used for shirts, trousers, skirts, ties and belts.
  • the hanger according to the invention is provided with a cross bar having two pegs slidably mounted therein and designed to hold the hem of trousers, when one wishes to hang them straight, rather than folded over the lower bar in the conventional manner.
  • the hanger of the present invention further includes a monobloc, plastic-molded frame, with a circular cross-section having a double stiffening channel which runs along the entire hanger, and a wider, grooved surface where clothes and/or accessories will rest, thus giving more resting space.
  • a monobloc, plastic-molded frame with a circular cross-section having a double stiffening channel which runs along the entire hanger, and a wider, grooved surface where clothes and/or accessories will rest, thus giving more resting space.
  • the frame becomes stiffer, and there is a certain saving on the amount of the material used. Also, during manufacture, the molded piece cools more rapidly, which allows a higher molding speed.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of the hanger according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a back view of the peg attached to the hanger according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of the peg attached to the hanger according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a section on the line 4--4 of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 is a section on the line 5--5 of FIG. 1.
  • the hanger includes a frame or body portion (1), the outline being that of a flattened isosceles trapezium, molded in one piece, in plastic, and having a circular cross-section.
  • the frame (1) On the inside, the frame (1) has two small symmetrical brackets (1c), L-shaped and with the free ends turned outwards, made to hold the loops which are usually sewn to skirt-waists.
  • bracket (1d) which can be used as a hook for ties or belts.
  • the frame (1) has a wider, grooved surface in those places where the various garmets should rest, so that the perimeter of the cross-section in these segments of the frame, as shown in FIG. 5, has an upper arc (1e) with a wider diameter in comparison to that of the lower arc (1f); the two arcs (1e and 1f) are connected by the double lateral channelling (1a) mentioned above.
  • the hanger in question is equipped with two pegs (2), each of which consists of two identical and symmetrical jaws (2a), molded in plastic and connected to each other by means of an intermediate flexible and elastic tongue (2b) which acts as a hinge between the jaws themselves.
  • a helicoidal spring (2c) is interposed between the jaws (2a) and holds the grasping ends of the jaws tightly one against the other.
  • teeth (2d) are of such shape and size as will allow them to fit into the opposed channels (1a) on the frame (1), with an amount of play sufficient to allow said pegs to slidably move along said channels without any rotation.
